Ethylene oxide allergy in dialysis patients

Ethylene oxide allergy in dialysis patients.

DESIGN OF STUDY Two groups of patients undergoing long-term dialysis were studied in order to evaluate the importance of ethylene oxide (EtO) in causing allergic reactions during dialysis. The first group of 50 subjects had never shown any hypersensitivity reactions related to dialysis, whereas the second group of 20 subjects had previously complained of reactions. All the patients underwent a ...

Sterilization by ethylene oxide.

Although sterilization by steam under pressure and by hot air are procedures which are now well understood and efficient when properly conducted, there is an increasing number of objects in medical or surgical use which are too heat labile to be so treated. It is for such items as plastic catheters, disposable plastic syringes, and prostheses that ethylene oxide has been proposed as a convenien...

Impact of Jacobson Relaxation on Dialysis Adequacy in ElderlyHemodialysis Patients

Background: Dialysis adequacy is one of the determining factors for survival in elderly patients. Improving the dialysis adequacy highly affects the remission and prognosis of old dialysis patients. Current study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Jacobson relaxation technique on dialysis adequacy in elderly people, who are under dialysis treatment. Methods: ods: This is a clinical trial...
